To all,
As announced by Ron Tozer at the OFO Convention this past weekend, it is
with sadness that I report the death of much loved and admired author,
journalist and naturalist/birder, Charles Frederick ("Fred") Bodsworth this
past Saturday at the age of 93.
According to the obituary to be published in tomorrow's Toronto Star,
"Friends are invited to join us at the Bracebridge Sewage Lagoons (Kerr
Park) on Sunday, October 7, 2012 for a hike in Fred's memory. We will
depart at 9 a.m., with a lunch to follow. Memorial Service in November to
be announced. Charitable donations can be made to Ontario Nature, Bird
Studies Canada or Canadian Nature Conservancy. Online condolences at
www.sherrinfuneral.ca ".
For those who are interested, the 1972 cartoon adaptation of Fred's classic
and world renowned book "Last of the Curlews" can be viewed here
